We were all hoping for it. We got one fist pump from Henrik Karlsson, but we needed 2 more for the win. Unfortunately for the Calgary Flames and their fans, that didn’t happen in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight as the Hurricanes survived a late rally from the Flames and won the game in the shootout. [...]
The Calgary Flames played a good game tonight. When you combine that with a poor showing from the Detroit Red Wings, it makes for an interesting match, and the Flames almost pulled it off. Unfortunatetly for the Flames, they gave up a 4-2 lead and let the Red Wings back into a game that they [...]
I suppose it was a fitting end to the night. On an evening that had few happy moments for Calgary Flames and Team Canada hockey fans, it was one thing that we could cheer about. Tim Jackman ruined Roberto Luongo’s shutout bid with just over 10 seconds left in the game by scoring the Flames only [...]
The Calgary Flames can’t seem to find a way to beat the Ducks in Anaheim. Jonas Hiller had 37 stops, Lubomir Vishnovsky scored a goal and added an assist and Corey Perry scored the winner in the shootout to give the Ducks their 12th consecutive win at home over the Flames. After a spirited start [...]
In a game that seemed like deja vu for some reason, the Flames stumbled and bumbled their way to a 2-1 loss in Los Angeles. Kings Rookie Kyle Clifford scored his first NHL goal and Jonathan Quick played an amazing game and kept the Flames off the scoreboard until late in the 3rd period. Before [...]
The Calgary Flames and New Jersey Devils, who are both stuck at the bottom of their respective conferences, faced off in New Jersey tonight and they needed a shootout to decide a winner.

The Calgary Flames rolled into New York tonight to face off against the New York Rangers for the only time this season. Despite playing a very energetic game and getting 32 shots on net, they couldn’t beat Rangers goalie Martin Biron more than once. Biron was on fire tonight and had an answer for almost [...]
The Calgary Flames hosted the Phoenix Coyotes tonight, and despite a solid first period, they couldn’t score often enough to win the game. Wojtek Wolski scored on a zero-angle shot at 7:13 of the 2nd period and Martin Hanzal added a powerplay goal 5 minutes later to give Phoenix a 2-0 lead. Rene Bourque scored [...]
The good news is that the Flames are safe. No records were set tonight. In case you were wondering, the most goals by one NHL team in one period is 9. That feat was accomplished by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2nd period on March 19, 1981 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The good news [...]
In a game that was all kinds of weird, the Calgary Flames gave up 3 different leads and two important points to the visiting Colorado Avalanche who defeated the Flames on a night that should have been a celebration. With Colorado goalie Craig Anderson out with a knee injury, the Flame should have rolled through [...]
The Edmonton Oilers came out shooting in the season opener tonight and blanked the Flames 4-0 at Rexall Place. The Flames couldn’t get anything going and gave Oilers fans something to cheer about both on the scoreboard and on the ice. Gilbert Brule opened the scoring for the Oilers, but it was Jordan Eberle’s first [...]
